CAFE PUBLICO: Where Everyday is GELATO Holiday!




Have you been at this store lately? This is the nicest gelato place I tried a few weeks back situated at the Promenade building in the well-renowned shopping center here in Manila. Snacks, coffee, wine and so much more can be found in here.  Although summer has officially ended, Cafe Publico is one of the best hang out places near my home. It is so accessible and eye catching that I bet passersby would invest in dining and killing time because of their unique ambiance and home-like interiors. Actually, I first encountered the brand online thru a group buying site but I was not able to buy even a single voucher due to the fast turnover of transaction. It was so fast that I think those lucky food voucher addicts like me celebrated with so fun and laughter. That for sure I envy big time!

As you enter the glass doors just before a team member gladly greets and invites you to choose your seat around, this tiled floor will definitely get your attention first or should I say first to greet you. You must notice it otherwise, you are either so excited to get in because of its eclectic yet inviting interiors or you are just so giddy to try out their best sellers. My first  impression was like this is a place where everybody could come and kill time as if you could do it everyday.  Publico is a Spanish term for public, thus this place has something for everyone and  could possibly mean pro bono publico too or made for public good. It should serve its real purpose and I must say that for a first timer, they successfully met my expectation.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf: Caramel Open House




Matter-of-factly, it was my first time to partake at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf's Open House early this morning with a close cousin of mine. Ever since I knew about this, I always confirm my attendance to their events thru Facebook but due to my work schedule before and the restriction it accompanies, I cannot not make it every time :( I noticed it always fall on a Sunday, a great time to bond with your family and the one closest to you too. And since I just resigned from my work, I have all the time to spend Sundays with my loved ones. Finally!

Today, at exactly 10AM all Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf stores in Manila, Batangas, Cebu and Davao invited everybody to their Caramel Open House! They are doing this regularly for everyone to get to know their finest drink for FREE. I know it sounds awesome but being there at one of their participating store makes it all the more specially awesome.

Tutuban Commercial Center: Back-to-School Challenge




Yay! I was selected to be one of the lucky five participants for the 2nd wave of Tutuban Commercial Center Back-to-School Challenge happened last Monday. I wasn't really expecting such an exciting invitation and superb activity as I was not aware that there would be a next wave.  This is in time for the official  opening of classes tomorrow and in that case we were being prepared for that through a little FREE Shopping experience! How's that appeal to you? Thanks to Mr. Richard Mamuyac for letting me experience one of the most unforgettable shopping experience with my co-bloggers. I owe you this opportunity. It happened at past 3PM and we assembled at  the Ad & PR office of Tutuban Center which is kinda tricky to place that Ness and I needed to ask a few strangers along the way to be able to make it on time. Though I am very much exposed to this area since my mother is a fond marketer and shopaholic at Divi and Tutuban especially before christmas holidays set in, I am still quite baffled of the too many outskirts surrounding the very popular and thick-crowded place. Reminding me that this is exactly where the ultimate Pinoy Shopping experience is.

It is nice to be back here at Tutuban Commercial Center!  Wide variety of merchandise and novelty items  await us. But we have to stick with the rule - it has to be a back to school challenge. No more, no less  ^_^
